So cool to see that Hakita got Bach and Beethoven on board with helping to make the soundtrack. Those guys are elusive nowadays, so big props to you for convincing them.

Still can’t believe Hakita cranked out Gabe’s theme hours before Act 2 was released. Jesus fucking christ.

thank you for making "Chord of the Crooked Saints" a track of its own.

47:30 I remember 1-3 so vividly. One of the first levels i played, i got my ass handed to me by the hideous mass, time, after time, after time. That was probably the first part of the game i really got stuck on for a bit. In an absolute genius display of game design, these scene happens *two* of the masses spawn in, with the most badass remix of Castle Vein you could ask for Tearing them both apart with all my new tools, and especially my new knowledge, I felt truly unstoppable

This game deserves all of the +FISTFUL OF DOLLARs it gets

They say the game has no sex, but the sax in Deep Blue says otherwise. Seriously though, Hakita is a modern day Renaissance man.

An absolute delight from start to finish. I love this soundtrack.

Hakita is a frenzied artist for sure; he apparently grinded out Gabriel’s theme less than 24 hours before the release, and afterwards the toll of the stress on his body caused him to vomit for hours. I really hope he balances his work in the future, because that’s fucking insane, but also, holy shit, I sometimes wish I had such a level of dedication to art that I became physically ill from the fervor of my work. Everything about this game from it’s gameplay, lore, soundtrack, characters, and even development is fucking metal. This is already my second favorite game of all time and it isn’t even done.

i still have 0 idea on how hakita managed to do the last songs within the last few hours before release

Hakita making the most fire song you will ever hear 4 hours before it releases

ULTRAKILL is a game that means a lot to me. It gave me hope in an otherwise utterly hopeless time in my life, and being able to make memes and contribute to the community has been a genuine joy and an absolute pleasure. I think what a lot of people don't talk about as much are the phenomenal overarching themes of the game. In a world where gods and angels blindly kill and follow orders to maintain tradition, the fire is gone. The only human thing that remains in this broken world is the songs that play in the terminals. Thinking for a second about what you're killing in the game, they're zombies. Husks. Amalgamations of flesh and stone. Twisted, hollow remnants of humanity, with the only thing of value remaining to be their blood. Although, yes, you are purging all the life on the upper layers, was there ever any life to begin with? Some of these beings have turned to worship, like the Sisyphean Insurrectionists and the Ferryman; all worshipping others they don’t truly grasp the intent of, nor are they aware of the circumstances behind their actions. Minos is a prime example of a lot of the game's themes; a phantom chasing phantoms. The literal ghost of man unable to come to terms with what the world has become because he refuses to see any alternate solution other than killing you, his freer. Perhaps I'm reading far too much into this. Maybe I'm seeing too much in a silly game where robots murder everything in sight in hell. But when everything does crumble to ash, all life in hell is eradicated entirely, and that terminal does sing, I might just cry.

Listening to Fallen Angel while struggling to open a plastic bag is not how I expected my morning to be spent.

When I heard the glory motif in Heresy I audibly went “WHOOOOO!”

I can't believe Hakita made such a great update to the game to tease the latest Heaven Pierceher album

-Badass gameplay -Badass OST -Official Bodypillows -Official Buttplug Support This game has it all Edit: due to popular demand "buttplug support" is now added to the list

"Alright, Deep Blue is done, but something is missing..." A random saxophone about to hit the nastiest solo you've heard:

THIS BETTER HAVE THE LOUD ASS NOISE THAT PLAYS WHEN YOU GET TO HERESY.

+AMAZING +ADDED TO PLAYLIST +ITS ULTRAKILLIN TIME

In the picture for The Death of God's Will, who is Gabriel stabbing? I don't know if that's a councilor member, or if it's Gabriel striking himself down (death of his identity as the Righteous Hand of the Father or the death of his faith), I do prefer the latter interpretation but I'd love to hear what it is.

In game, the transition between Gabriel's frenzied rant and the song "Death of Gods Will" made my hair stand up on the back of my neck and froze me in place so solidly I was killed in seconds. Absolutely marvelous.

my favourite part in ultrakill act 2 was when john ultrakill was wrathful that his friend was greedy and claimed it wasn't heresy

The entire soundtrack of this game so far is absolutely kickass. Edit: I also love how some of the songs have their own artwork, it’s a really nice touch.

If this game doesn't get a Steam Award when it's finished, I'm gonna become *+ENRAGED*

I have been eagerly awaiting this since act 2 came out. Imperfect Hatred is an absolute delight to listen to.

If you're on the fence about buying this game, just remember, you can punch your own bullets to make them explode.

The transition from “He Is the Light In My Darkness” to “Death Odyssey” is beautiful

I loved the part when Hakita said "Its Soundtrackin' Time" and proceeded to soundtrack all over us

+WAITING +COUNTERWAITING +ULTRAWAITING +COUNTERULTRAWAITING

ULTRAKILL's OST will go down as one of the best video game OSTs ever

I let out an audible "Oh shit" when the two hideous masses spawned and the castle vein remix started playing, well done

I literally can't stop listening to Altars of Apostasy, it may be the best piece of music I've ever heard in a game. The feeling I had when I heard it ingame for the first time was something completely new to me, I was almost jumping on my chair when the Castle Vein remix came. I'm so infatuated by this game I'm beginning to think some black magic is involved in it.

The first time this banger album dropped i could feel the V1 coming inside of me

I bet 10 dollars Hakita got straight A+ on every music theory exam because he managed to fucking crank Death of Gods Will within hours before the games 2nd chapter

*I know I'm most likely wrong about this , but I'll say it anyway* I feel that in Ultrakill's soundtrack , the various instruments represent a lot of what is actually going on in the game . The electric guitar mainly represents V1 , so in Act 1 the earlier tracks have alot of heavy guitar sounds , as if V1 himself is "talking" in the soundtrack (or just losing it) . Drums i feel like they represent Hell itself , and the other instruments represent the bosses or a certain map of a level (e.g Castle Vein) . I noticed that , especially in boss fight tracks , it's almost as if the main instrument of the track is kinda "interrupted"(or just plays on top of it) by heavy guitar that play the same notes , like a battle for which instrument overtakes the other , like a fight . For example , in death of god's will , the main leitmotif switches between Gabriel's instruments ( i think its the violin and the choir) and V1's ( guitar ) . It feels like the instruments themselves are fighting each other while you fight with Gabriel . And since V1 always wins since he is the player , the final moments of the major bossfight songs dont have guitar , but have a slowly fading outro mainly played by the boss's instrument or just have no guitar by the end , signifying that they lost the fight . The guitar is constant in almost every song , while the rest aren't as common . Since the only constant is that v1 is there and he is the only one left alive by the end , the guitar gets to continue being in other tracks while you will not hear King Minos' violin again since you killed him .

If I were to be rich, I'd hold a concert for the Ultrakill tracks because... Imagine that with a real organ, guitars....

The art for "He is My Light in Darkness" is phenomenal, and this entire ost is as well

The art for Deep Blue (and the rest of the album, let’s be real) goes so fucking hard, Francis is a god

that dude that left the discords gonna need a few more tubes of toothpaste here i was obsessed with everything 6-1, and now hearing a finished death of gods will, mm unbelievably good

I'm glad I discovered how GOOD this game was just before Act 2 dropped. I regret not having played it earlier, this game has quickly become a favorite of mine. Good work, Hakita, PITR, and everybody else who worked on this. ULTRAKILL is, by all definitions, a masterpiece, and it's not even finished.

Man who fuckin knows what act 3 is gonna be like like holy shit act 2 blew me away especially the ost it's the most dynamic and fun the soundtrack has ever been. Not sure what hakkita has in mind for the next act but I hope it's as fuckin good as this act because not only does it kick the most ass so much ass, the levels were fucking fantastic. Love this damn game so much I have like over 3,000 hours on this game alone. Love you hakkita can't fuckin wait what comes next GOD BLESS MURDER ROBOTS.

I know NOTHING about music, but man that little delay in Gabe's theme at 53:02 (it happens a few times) just makes that part so hype.

a comment from one of the old gamerip video Out of all of these bangers of track oddly enough 5-2 calm is my favorite 24:45 Seeing a ocean of endless arms desperately reaching out for some savor to rescue them from this perpetual torment combined with seeing the titanic a ship were so many lost their lives to the cold dark ocean raise out of the water set the mood perfectly for me. We are all always so focused on V1 being an unstable badass that no one stops to think how tragically humanity ended and what this machine with artificial intelligence thinks or feels about this. Dose it just run by focused on its mission with no distractions or dose it take a second to feel the dread and pain for those still trapped under. Desperately wanting to reach out to pull one of these hands out and save one of these innocent souls from undeserved eternal damnation knowing all to well that if it did it would be pulled under too. To become another desperately reaching hand out of this endless sea. I suppose it’s up to how the player reacts because after all Man kind is dead Blood is fuel Hell is full

I’d like to believe that V1 thinks in sound waves and the soundtrack is his live commentary reaction

Oh man what can I say....this soundtrack is truly incredible. The atmosphere it creates, the pacing, how each track encapsulates the feeling and essence of each level. I mean the sheer complexity of some of these tracks is impressive on its own. This is honestly another step up from Act 1's already extremely solid soundtrack and it never ceases to amaze me, by the way, how you're producing OST of this quality whilst building the entire game at the same time. Also I really appreciate the transitions not only between songs, but within the songs themselves; a perfect example of this is the melancholic string and harpsichord opening of 5-2 perfectly setting the stage for the ferrymans theme to come out of nowhere and absolutely hit like a train. It really helps the soundtrack feel like a musical landscape, as opposed to just a collection of tracks stacked together. It's been awesome to see your composition style develop as the game progresses too, and I wish you all the good luck with the development of Act 3 and its music. I'm gonna have this one on repeat for a long while :)

ULTRAKILL is a game about killing and becoming better. This game has done alot more to me than make me better at aiming. This game has started my music career, my love and interest in the genres I produce. It showed me amen breaks, my favorite aspect to use in any song, it showed me how I should use distortion correctly, it showed me how to add layers to a song, make it more filled. This game is truly a masterpiece, even though its made by 2 people (I think, not including Gianni or Dave).

It's crazy how hakita is versatile in these soundtracks. The guy can go from a violent breakcore to some really melancholic and chill tunes. I've rarely seen this kind of mastery in music before.

"The death of gods will" is one of the greatest things ive ever heard, keep it up hakita i cant wait to see what the secret boss is

The Death of God's Will is an absolutely fucking gnarly metal track. it deserves a reimagining into a standalone song, i think. the solos and the pauses are flawless.

I just noticed that in the art of Gabriel piercing someone with his spear, it's not V1 like I'd originally thought. Rather, it's Gabriel himself. Likely an illustration of how he changes after the events of 6-2, the angel that served in the name of God is dead. now only exists an angel who shall liberate heaven from the council's rule.

this is absolutely perfect my favorite parts are from 0:00 all the way up to 1:01:21 this made my year

21:01 This melody is giving me Portal 2 vibes and I LOVE it!

Your devotion to the soundtrack shows skill in you; plentiful indeed

Money Is Temporary But Dune Is Eternal -John Ultrakill V1

27:38 absolutely loving that Samus reference in the artwork

Deep blue is so under appreciated its insane.

no way you actually named a song "dune eternal" this game is actually incredible

Hakita has such energy to not only make continuous kickass songs, but also to set in a certain emotion. For example, realizing V2 is gonna be the boss at the beginning of 4-4 with his leitmotif, fan-girling over the newly added saxophone solo in Deep Blue mid-level, and essentially ALL of the music in 6-1, the damned beginning, the buildup to the main part of the level, and the return of the Hideous Mass. It made my heart pound constantly, an experience I essentially *never* have gaming, but this very game is so, so very special

47:34 That Castle Vein motif was a genius move by Hakita. Hideous Masses is one of the most meaningful enemies in the game, because when I played the demo version and was saving money to get the full game, a Hideous Mass would spawn at 1-1, ending the demo. I then watched some gameplay videos, which confused me when I didn't see the Hideous Mass in 1-1 but in 1-3 instead. When I finally bought the game, I quickly progressed to 1-3 and found the Hideous Mass. I died so many times, even in the Standard difficulty. Even though to this day, I still fear the Hideous Mass, but it's still one of my favorites, and it brings me back to "the old days" where I didn't have the full game. When they first appear as a normal enemy in 6-1, and the motif plays, it really feels like Hakita knew what he was doing when he was creating that mission. Surely one of my favorite video game OST motifs.

dawg stop making mozart jealous 🥵🥵

46:45 still gives me chills man

The plot is so much more harrowing that I would have ever thought.. Not only did the machines exterminate all of humanity, but now they, likely thousands of bloodlusted metal beings with insatiable hunger are following in the player's wake, and there's no God to put an end to this. Everyone was left at the mercy of the machines, even heaven.

Love how the cover for deep blue v1 is falling with the water above him then in 6-1s music he's rising above what used to be water and are now hands trying to snatch him

Just now realising that Gabriel is shaped like a sword on the cover

amazing how many people i recognize in the live stream from the discord servers my favourite stage is probably 6-1, amazing visuals, pretty cool enemy placements and arenas and my favourite themes in the game

If the machines seek blood. He would give it freely; and with such fury, even metal will bleed...

thank you for incluiding the loud ass noise that plays when you get to heresy, hearing a harsh noise track in a game ost made my fucking week

Boy, I can't wait until [Insert Disc 3]

Random thought, what if for act 3, most of the new enemies are new angel, following in the step of Gabriel rebellion against the council, trying to help him and while being blinded by their adoration toward him, they try to kill V1 to make him repay for the humiliation he made Gabriel suffer

6-1's track is one of the best songs I've seen in gaming, it perfectly captures the theme of the level and context and is beautifully done. The combined motifs and perfect guitar chord progression is amazing. I've been listening to this on repeat since release of the act. (Edit) 6-2 was also wonderfully done and the new mix is great, I do wish though personally that Gabe’s speech was in the song Wrath is pretty good overall and I enjoy it quite a lot. Greed is pretty solid too. Overall awesome soundtrack and definitely one of the best I’ve seen in the genre. Fantastic, can’t wait until the next layer.

it burns when i pee but this music is pretty good

My favorite part in this act was when Gabriel said "YOUR ULTRAMURDER ULTRAENDS ULTRAHERE ULTRAMACHINE!" and *ULTRAKILLED* the shit out of V1.

hakita has improved so much over the course of making this game and it really shows with the soundtrack too

"A rushed game is never good unless you're Hakita and you're making the soundtrack at the last minute" -Some guy from nintendo or something

i cant imagine the time and money needed to create my favorite track, Insert Disc 2...

Bruh how does (mostly) one guy make both an amazing game and amazing music for the game, Hakita is an absolute Gigachad.

I hope this gets a vinyl or CD release

I wonder how the boss layout for the final 3 layers will be. If you look at it, it goes: Act 1- Limbo - V2 Lust - corpse of king Minos Gluttony - Gabriel Act 2- Greed - V2 Wrath - Leviathan Heresy - Gabriel The first layers in the 2 acts have been V2, and the second layers have been large-scale battles against massive foes, while the last layers have been fights against Gabriel. With V2 dead, I wonder who or what the boss got the first layer of act 3 will be.

Ultrakill might be one of the first games that made a water level that has fantastic music and also doesn't suck. Sweet baby jesus, "Deep Blue" Is simultaneously energetic yet calming. And the fact it gets muffled when you go underwater....just, *muah*.

I love the fact that you can hear glimpses of the Glory soundtrack in Altars of Apostasy .

Duel is exactly the music for a thing like "death battle of robots in hell".

"MACHINE, I WILL CUT YOU DOWN." The spare change in my pocket:

As a wise man said: “This game is the official sequel to sex.”

am I the only one that noticed how instead of just having one cover for the entire OST, like the last soundtrack, they now have individual little works of art for basically every song, and I freaking love it.

52:34 man those off key notes give me chills, such a great way to show Gabriel's entirely different sense of mind now, far more broken than before

I loved the screen that shows when you have to “insert” the disc for act II. Something about it felt like someone breaking the 4th wall. I hope we get it again for Act III

My friend literally told me to just listen to the music of this game before I gained a new hyperfixation and oh my good LORD??? HOW HAVE I NEVER BEEN INTERESTED IN THIS?

Oh this is from one of the best games of all time? I just thought it was the follow-up to a really neat album.

The two sections from 44:47 - 45:14 and 46:44 - 47:23 respectively are some of my favourite returns to leitmotif in this game's entire soundtrack - they evoke a feeling different from any other (in my opinion), saying "you're here, you're doing wonderfully, keep going." Of course, add the Glory leitmotif to the mix as well as the stunning extension the second time it comes around, and you have a piece I really can't stop listening to, in game and out of it. Not forgetting the Castle Vein drop moments later mind you, the twin health bars appearing as Gabriel finishes speaking and it cuts in were an experience I already know Act III will bring back to me. Oh, and the piano at the end is just incredible, especially at the climax (1:00:26) - I wish I took longer to read the dialogue so I heard it ingame, the tone is perfect. You're a mad genius, Hakita - thank you. Edit: oh my god, and The Death of God's Will??! Hearing the drop at 51:10 ingame was a religious experience having listened to Divine Intervention a LOT, brought to new heights by Gianni's perfect voice work, as usual. Seriously, I can't praise this music enough, the game is something else.

that one transition between fallen angel and The Death of God's will is so smooth ngl

Wouldn’t it be funny if v1 just never visited Gabriel and instead he just waited 24 hours for Gabe to die

This is a certified ultrakillin’ moment.

Dude gabriel’s song is soooo good cause the first time we encounter him he’s overconfident and you can hear that in the music compare to the second encounter he’s angry and desperate to right his wrong and you can also hear that in the music thats what i love about ultrakill’s soundtrack it tells you a story and i cant wait for the second prime boss

considering that "The death of gods will" was made hours before the release, i have to say it slaps

I love how he took the best parts of Castlevein and seamlessly mixed it with the more hardcore drums and electric guitar of altars of apostasy

1:16 is that the door sound from OG Doom? In a song titled “Dune Eternal?” 420 out of 10! Best game of all time right here, right now and it literally hasn’t even fully released yet!

43:33 it was this song, Altars of Apostasy. Specifically this is what really got me into wanting to play Ultrakill

Shoutout to the wrath layer, gotta be my favourite gender

What I like about Hakita's music is it's startup. The startup always or sometimes starts with a quire. Example of this is Minos Prime theme and Gabriel 1 and 2 fight theme. All 3 of those startup's has a quire. And the actual fight continues that quire but adds a little bit of notes.
